This site has been around for quite a few years, but I have managed to miss any mention of it before:
http://aalt.law.uh.edu/ An American university has photographed and digitised over NINE MILLION documents held at TNA. Probably the most useful for us are C1- Chancery cases. The images are not brilliant, and there seems no way of enlarging them, but if you can't get to Kew, it's brilliant.

Ooh thank you Phoenix - something to explore later. I have a chancery case that went on for over 70 years through three generations and I have never been sure I found all the documents.

That site isn't https which surprises me.

So far, all the chancery cases I have noted in my tree seem to be C11 or C12 and I can't see them on there. Is that right?

Quite possible. It looks as if they have only filmed single documents. Most of the chancery cases I have looked at consist of several documents tagged together (and of course TNA refuse to allow tags to be removed)
